about Meraii is not easily impressed. The world offers her little that she has not already seen, and most encounters fail to hold her interest for long. Her aloof and disinterested personality sometimes coming off as cold or rude. Yet with a smirk and a glance, she can keep conversation flowing as effortlessly as the smoke from her pipe, but only should something catch her eye.She is a woman who values those with strong convictions; like-minds who hold themselves to a standard rather than to the expectations of those around them. She respects those who do what must be done for their own preservation and feels no shame when she follows the same path. For you see, lurking beneath the calculation and the indifference lies a dangerous allure: a charm that draws others close, unaware that they stand before a creature who has long since learned that people are disposable.

biography Born within a quiet village beneath the boughs of the Golmore Jungle, Meraii’s earliest days were spent beside her brother, until fate, and the intervention from beyond their star, tore her from that path. Transposed to the First, she came of age among the Vii of the Rak'tika Greatwood, where decades spent hunting sin eaters as a 'Warrior of Darkness' left her emptier, and aching for a home she could scarcely remember. But unable to return, she remained, fulfilling the "purpose" assigned to her and the other heroes from beyond the star by the Crystal Exarch himself.But that purpose slowly became a cage as the weight of their duty took its toll. Watching as those she held as comrades, companions, and even lovers succumbed to the light they had sworn to banish. What had once been hope in her mission and duty to bring night back to the light-ravaged lands, twisted into a quiet exhaustion and a doomed goal. A hollow promise of heroism that brought no peace to those twisted by the lighwardens' influence. Not even herself.With the threat finally quelled and the Exarch forced to make good on his promise, she was returned to the home she had longed to see. Now, back upon the Source, Meraii searches for new meaning and direction. At last free from the dictates of others, she chooses to live as she wills, guided only by her own desires.

Bonds

Argyros Murga
Theirs is not a story of love, nor one that asks for promises. When they meet, it is with fire; brief, consuming, and gone again with the dawn. But for those moments, the world narrows to just the two of them, and that, perhaps, is enough, even if just for the night.

Fimmér Nimh
Though neither are prone to sentiment, their interest is evident in the way they find each other time and again, both within the crowd and beyond it. What blooms between them is unhurried, unspoken, and perhaps all the more genuine for it.

Kett Sapria
Their arrangement is delightfully simple: open flirtation, good company, and a physical connection neither of them feels the need to complicate. Instead, they enjoy each other freely, trying new things, keeping the nights lively, and respecting each other’s autonomy without question.
A comfortable, carefree indulgence; exactly as they prefer it.
Hooks

Flood of Light
Meraii carries an abnormally high concentration of primordial Light-aspected aether within her body; an echo of her time on the First. To those attuned to aether, her presence is impossible to ignore; the air around her hums with radiant pressure, sharp and blinding to the senses. Those unfortunate, or curious enough to see it directly, are often overwhelmed by its intensity, as though gazing into the heart of a star.

Holistic Healer
During her years among the Vii of the First, Meraii showed little talent for traditional spellcraft. Her grasp of elemental magic was tenuous at best, but where others wove power outward, she learned to turn it inward. Guided by healers of the Greatwood, she honed the delicate art of manipulating aether within the body itself, mending flesh and spirit through balance rather than force. What she lacks in raw magical might, she compensates for with precision and an intuitive understanding of the living flow.
Where to Find

Crystalline Form
The fractures that trace along her skin shimmer with the purest crystal—bearing a striking resemblance to that of the Crystal Tower itself. At times, they pulse softly beneath the surface, catching the light as though something within them stirs and breathes, alive yet silent.
What began as a desperate salvation has become a living reminder of her curse; a slow crystallization that will one day claim her body in full, should the light ever outgrow its cage.

Intimacy & Preferences
Meraii approaches intimacy much like everything else in her life: with purpose, direction, and a firm grasp on her own desires. And though she enjoys it fully in the moment, it rarely lingers. Once her needs are met, she is quick to dress, gather her things, and slip away into the night.
Dominance comes naturally to her. She prefers partners who offer a challenge to meet, not a pedestal to stand on, or those who might seek to put her underfoot. Those with strong wills earn her respect, and those who take the initiative will often get what they seek.Relationships
Detachment is intentional. Commitment is a luxury she neither desires nor believes she can afford. Still, on rare occasions, she finds a spark in someone—conviction that mirrors her own, autonomy she can respect, and wit sharp enough to match her own
